the case of Jan. 6th...Ashley Babbitt was part of a mob trying to bash in the last doorway separating them from the rooms holding members of Congress. She took it upon herself to try and pass...against Police warnings to STOP...through a broken window. If she was allowed to pass, then everyone behind her would have done the same, thus, far out numbering the few Police officers given the responsibility of PROTECTING the safety and lives of those Congress members. It was WRONG for her to disregard the warning...she and others saw the drawn gun and heard the Officer's warning...it was her fatal mistake for not heeding it, and instead putting her faith in the "Big Lie" from Trump, who convinced her to join the riot.

btw, all the Police Officers at the Capitol were well aware of the extreme violence and rhetoric being perpetrated by the rioters prior to Ashley Babbitt's shooting...All attempts to peacefully 'dissuade' the rioters had failed...so those last few Officers knew they were the only ones left to protect members of Congress from an unknown, but potentially physically harmful fate. The Officer who shot Ashley Babbitt did his job.

ELP has zero appreciation or understanding of the events he rails about...a true "Empty Barrel".
